#4632 MEN1 associated pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours: Re-evaluating the 2cm cut-off for surgical resection

Introduction: Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (PanNETs) are the leading cause of death in patients (pts) with MEN1. Screening is recommended to diagnose early and prevent metastases. The optimal cut-off of when to intervene in a PanNET is still an area of debate.

#4612 Intraoperative beta-probe for pathological tissue detection in GEP-NET patients: A prospective phase II trial

Introduction: Accurate localisation of gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (GEP-NET) is essential for successful radical surgery. Radio guided surgery (RGS) is an innovative technique that may enhance lesion detection.

#4458 Survival and optimal follow-up cut-off of lung neuroendocrine tumours after surgery: Experience of a high-volume centre over 25 years

Introduction: Surgery is the curative therapy for lung neuroendocrine tumours (NET). Follow-up protocols after surgery are not evidence based and factors affecting survival are not clear.

#4403 Ki-67 index cut-off values and survival prognostication in neuroendocrine neoplasms: Machine learning-based insights

Introduction: The current grading system for gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (GEP-NEN) is based on Ki-67 index and/or mitotic rate. By definition, high-grade NEN (neuroendocrine tumour grade 3 [NET G3] and neuroendocrine carcinoma [NEC]) have a Ki-67 >20%, while NET G1 have a Ki-67

#4338 Spot urine 5-HIAA creatinine ratio is comparable to 24hr urine collection for diagnosis of carcinoid syndrome

Introduction: Carcinoid syndrome (CS) constitutes up to 20% of functional neuroendocrine neoplasms and can lead to carcinoid crisis (CC), a potentially fatal complication during invasive procedures. Urine 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5HIAA) is the preferred diagnostic biomarker for CS and prognostic marker for CC. 5HIAA is collected over 24-hours with strict dietary restriction for the 2 days prior as well as the day of the collection. False positive and negative results can occur due to under and over-collection. Patient inconvenience also contributes to the low request rate of this test.
